5th Year Church Anniversary

We just celebrated 5 years of God's faithfulness at our local church. God has sustained us all this time, even in this new season. We enjoyed our time of fellowship with our visitors, including Pastor Mike, whom God has used to plant this local church. He is now based in the U.S., but he comes here occasionally. The message was from John 15. Jesus is the Vine, we are the branches. How true that is. It really hurts when God starts pruning, but it's the only way we can bear more fruit. We had lunch at the church, some special presentations, including Tint leading us in a couple of songs. In the afternoon, we went to the beach and baptized a lot of disciples. This is awesome! My fingers were really hurting from playing the guitar all the time the people went down to the water to be baptized, but I tell you, it's worth it! (I'll post pictures next time)
